MLA - Glen Hart - Last Mountain -Touchwood

Dear Lord. We pray today for Glen Hart and the work that he does. We ask
you to give him a double helping of wisdom as he navigates government. Bless
him with a focus and capacity to help his constituents, and those that would
not normally get the help they need. Give him peace and joy. Amen.

Glen was first elected to represent the Last Mountain-Touchwood constituency for the Saskatchewan Party in 1999. He was re-elected in 2003, 2007, 2011, and 2016. During his two terms in opposition, Glen's critic duties included Post-Secondary Education, Highways and Transportation, Environment, Labour, Deputy Critic for Aboriginal Affairs, and Deputy Critic for Culture, Youth and Recreation.

Following the 2007 election, Glen served as chair of the legislature's Standing Committee on Human Services and deputy chair of the legislature's Standing Committee on Public Accounts, as well as member of the caucus Standing Policy Committee on Human Services.

He is currently Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and serves as a member of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts and the Private Bills Committee.

We pray for our province with hopes that those elected to lead, at every level, will work now for your people. We pray these men and women will humble themselves to the sacred task of governing for the people who cast votes, not the corporations and wealthy individuals who paid for influence. We pray for legislators who will care about jobs for the unemployed and underemployed, education and opportunity for children, and health care for all, especially the most vulnerable among us.

We pray for laws that will protect and respect the resources of our province, not a thing to be owned and exploited for profit by a few. We pray for regulations that will harness the hubris and greed of the financial sector. We pray for governance that knows the difference between a financial system and an economy, the one that has become a perverted and unregulated industry, the other a respect for all human life.

We pray for wisdom not rhetoric; generosity not indifference, and justice not patronage. We want legislators working across the aisle, not erecting barriers like the border walls that imprison even those who seek to keep others out. We pray for a just sharing in the expense of government, let those blessed with great wealth give according to their means, let all give as they are able.

We pray for leaders gifted in diplomacy, blessed with character and integrity; leaders who know our security comes from relationships of trust and communication.

For our part give us the patience to give our leaders a chance to govern with grace, compassion, justice, and love. Let us support sincere effort and celebrate wise compromise. Make us accountable to our faith and so hold those we elect accountable to serve all the people, not just those who can afford to pay for self-serving polices.

May we never cease to pray, and to hope, and to work for justice for all.
